Department of Sanitation, FY 2015
September 1, 2015
M/WBE Letter Grade
Letter Grade Overview
DSNY once again performed well with Asian American-owned firms in goods procurement. Yet its spending with M/WBEs in all other procurement categories was low and the agency failed to meet any construction, professional services, or standard services goals given its large procurement budget. This procurement spending earned DSNY a failing grade again this year.
